Step 2: Define Your Target Websites

The Website Schema Extractor automation allows you to extract structured data such as schema.org details, microdata, and other structured data from websites. This tool is ideal for marketers, SEO professionals, and developers analyzing website structures or implementing structured data strategies.

Single Input

Use this option to extract schema data from a single website.

• Website URL: Enter the website URL directly into the provided field (e.g., https://www.texau.com/).

After providing the required details, click the Run button to start the process.

Google Sheets

This option is ideal for running bulk queries efficiently using Google Sheets.

• Connect your Google account
  • Click Select Google Account to choose your connected account, or click Add New Google Sheet Account and follow the instructions to authorize access if no account is linked.
• Select your spreadsheet
  • Click Open Google Drive to locate the Google Sheet containing your website URLs.
  • Select the spreadsheet and the specific sheet where your data is stored.
• Adjust processing settings
  • Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Define how many rows of the sheet should be processed.
  • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Specify rows to skip if necessary.
• Provide input details
  • Website URL: Ensure the correct column contains the website URLs for scraping schema data.
• Run the automation
  • Click the Run button in the lower-right corner to begin extracting schema data.

Optional feature:

• Loop Mode: Enable this feature to reprocess the Google Sheet from the start once all rows are completed. This is useful for recurring data updates.

Process a CSV File

This option allows you to extract schema data from a static CSV file.

• Upload the file
  • Click Upload CSV File and select the file containing website URLs from your computer.
  • TexAu will display the file name and preview its content for verification.
• Adjust processing settings
  • Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Define how many rows you want to scrape from the file.
  • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Specify rows to skip, if needed.
• Provide input details
  • Website URL: Ensure the correct column contains the website URLs for scraping schema data.
• Run the automation
  • Click the Run button in the lower-right corner to start the process.

Step 3: Execute Automations on TexAu Desktop or Cloud

• Open the automation setup and select Desktop Mode.
• Click Choose a Desktop to Run this Automation.
• From the platform, select your connected desktop (status will show as "Connected") or choose a different desktop mode or account.
• Click “Use This” after selecting the desktop to run the automation on your local system.
• Alternatively, if you wish to run the automation on the cloud, click Run directly without selecting a desktop.

Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

Set up a schedule to run the automation at specific times or intervals. Click Schedule to configure the timing and recurrence frequency:

• None
• At Regular Intervals (e.g., every 12 hours)
• Once
• Every Day
• On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., Mondays and Thursdays)
• On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 1st and 15th)
• On Specific Dates (e.g., March 25)

Tip: Scheduling is ideal for monitoring schema updates on competitor websites regularly.

Step 5: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)

Avoid detection and simulate human-like activity by setting an iteration delay. Choose minimum and maximum time intervals to add randomness between actions. This makes your activity look natural and reduces the chance of being flagged.

• Minimum Delay: Enter the shortest interval (e.g., 10 seconds).
• Maximum Delay: Enter the longest interval (e.g., 20 seconds).

Tip: Random delays keep your automation safe and reliable.

Step 6: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

Choose how to save and manage the extracted alumni data. TexAu provides the following options:

• Append (Default): Adds new results to the end of existing data, merging them into a single CSV file.
• Split: Saves new results as separate CSV files for each automation run.
• Overwrite: Replaces previous data with the latest results.
• Duplicate Management: Enable Deduplicate (Default) to remove duplicate rows.

Tip: Google Sheets export makes it easy to collaborate with your team in real time, particularly useful for alumni network management and analysis.

Step 7: Access the Data from the Data Store

Once the automation is complete, navigate to the Data Store section in TexAu to review your extracted schema data. Locate the "Website Schema Extractor" automation and click See Data to view or download the results.

The Website Schema Extractor automation streamlines the process of extracting structured data from websites, making it an essential tool for SEO audits, competitor analysis, and data collection. With flexible input options, scheduling, and seamless exports to Google Sheets or CSV, TexAu enables you to scale your workflows and gain valuable insights with minimal effort.
